Trend Tuesday – Varsity Blues Inspired by Jil Sander Pre-Fall

With fashion cycling through the classics comes one of our favorite returns, the varsity inspired trend we've seen from some of our go-to labels Take Raf Simon's Pre-Fall collection for Jil Sander as your starting point with its wide range of ultra-deluxe classics peppered with the labels initials. Placed on structured basics with a retro elegance, the theme loses its ironic tendencies for a look that's fresh.

Tilda Swinton in Jil Sander Spring 2012

Just as Tokyo Fashion Week comes to an end pops-up Tilda Swinton in a deliciously discrete and beautifully envisioned minimal blue knee-length Jil Sander dress from the house's recent Spring 2012 runway collection. According to WWD, "Raf Simons and his team at Jil Sander designed all of the costumes for Swinton's character in the movie 'I Am Love,' which will be released in Japan on December 23." It comes as no surprise as Swinton, the queen startlet of embracing fashion's changing winds, continues to break the mold of banal red carpet dressing with wardrobe choices that not only display her keen eye for avant-garde minded fashion but also manage to deliver a controlled message of high-design meets approachable, confident elegance.

The final +J Collection from UNIQLO and Jil Sander

After several successful seasons collaborating with Uniqlo, Jil Sander's +J collection for the Japanese fast fashion giant is unfortunately ending this season. Word is that a Uniqlo collabo with Undercover is up next, which of course we can't wait to get our hands on (we love Undercover), however, we've also been diehard fans of the +J range for its minimal techno separates that harkened back to Jil's own days at her eponymous label. And while her namesake label is thriving in the hands of Raf Simons, Jil's return on the scene with Uniqlo produced what we consider to be one of the greatest collaborations of all time. This season is the last time we'll all be able to score covetable

Best of Milan Fashion Week- D&G, Jil Sander, Moschino, Prada – Spring 2012

As per usual, from New York collections one can expect pragmatic sportswear(the kind that doesn't often reinvent the wheel, maybe just spins it), from London one can expect out-of-this-world, well executed propositions and from Milan; riotous colors, bold adornments and brilliant uses of technological advancements in fabrications. And with that being said, Milanese designers did not disappoint. We saw a large variety of finessed, retro-inspired options full of energy, enticing plays on print and a generous dose of giddy sex appeal. Here's a look at our favorite outings from the season in Milan.

Jil Sander Navy Spring 2012 Fashion Presentation

Jil Sander Navy Spring 2012
Runway Review Snippet... Platform brogues punctuated a youthful, tomboyish and relaxed spirit from an otherwise characteristically utilitarian outing from Jil Sander's secondary line, Jil Sander Navy. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS While knife-pleated skirts and prim blouses made for a bulk of the collection, the real draw to the range came via a subversive and vaguely military ode to Girl Scouts and to uniform dressing as a whole. And just like Jil Sander's main line, there were plenty of smart separates with universal appeal and a slight jolt of the unexpected that were anything but timely to get you retooling your wardrobe.  --Naveed Hussain SHOP Jill Sander Navy in store now: More Jil Sander...
